What jurisdiction does the US court of federal claims have?

The U.S. Court of Federal Claims has jurisdiction over monetary claims against the federal government, including cases related to contracts, takings, tax refunds, and certain violations of constitutional rights. It primarily handles claims for damages, and it can hear cases involving federal statutes that allow for monetary compensation. The court does not have jurisdiction over claims against state governments or private parties. Additionally, appeals from its decisions typically go to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
